SIA Marine Care Baltic operates as a multifaceted maritime supply and service organization headquartered in the vicinity of Riga, Latvia. Established in 2004, the company has evolved from a specialized distributor of marine chemicals into a broader service group capable of addressing diverse vessel requirements across the Baltic States. Its primary mandate involves the integration of logistics, technical product distribution, and port agency services to support merchant fleets trading in Northern Europe.
A core component of the company’s identity is its status as the regional representative for the global Marine Care brand. Through this affiliation, SIA Marine Care Baltic supplies essential maintenance solutions, including tank cleaning agents, cargo hold wash-down products, and water treatment systems designed for boiler and cooling water management. The firm supports these chemical supplies with technical expertise, offering analysis services and testing equipment that allow vessel crews to monitor onboard water quality and ensure compliance with environmental and operational standards. To facilitate heavy-duty maintenance, the company also distributes specialized high-pressure cleaning equipment suitable for removing stubborn residues from cargo holds, a critical service for bulk carriers switching between commodities.
Beyond chemical solutions, SIA Marine Care Baltic functions as a significant distributor of protective marine coatings. The company represents major industry manufacturers, most notably acting as an official distributor for Hempel paints in Latvia. This division is supported by certified technical staff who provide guidance on anti-corrosive strategies, ensuring that hull and deck coatings are applied correctly to withstand the harsh conditions of the Baltic Sea.
Expanding its operational footprint, the organization provides ship agency services specifically within the Freeport of Riga. This department handles port formalities, crew changes, and husbandry matters, acting as a direct liaison between vessel operators and local authorities. The company maintains its own warehousing infrastructure in Jaunmārupe, which serves as a logistical hub for the rapid deployment of goods—ranging from provisions and cabin stores to technical equipment—to ports throughout Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. By consolidating chemical supply, technical coating consultancy, and port agency operations, SIA Marine Care Baltic maintains a central role in the regional maritime infrastructure, ensuring vessels receive comprehensive support during their port calls.
